B-10 Reso]+ation 81-114 - Supporting City of Homer Reso- lution Requesting Reconsideration of State Reapportionment J MOTICK_ s Councilman Measles moved, seconded by Councilwoman - Glick, to adopt the Resolution. PUBLIC COMM14T s Ruby Coyle spoke. She thinks the Cities should have direct representation but whether it should come from Council is a question she has. She thinks the direction the City should go is to have the City vote its own representatives with the City and have differ- _:-, ent reapportionment than we have in the Borough at this time. She doesn't like the representation as it is now. `S Councilman Measles explained he talked to representa- tives of various City Councils in the Borough. lie thought most of the Councils are discouraged with �. the relationship with the Borough. He understood this will also come up in aoldotna and Seward to { show the Borough there is dissatisfaction with things as they are now. Fie talked with Sen. Gilman A If KENA1 CITY COUNCIL NOV. 81 1981 Page 4 and Sven. Gilman thought a unified front will have some bearing but will not have any influence till 1990. Councilman Wise said in the Oct. 6, 1981 election there was a question if apportionment ways correct or not. It was passed by a sizable number. He noted we are flying in the face of a vote of the people. The campaign to affect this should have been done before the election. Councilman Wagoner said the Borough Assembly is now elected at large, the Council is elected. If Kenai wants reprezentation, they should get someone from the Council to run for Borough Assembly. We had a chance and did not do that. VOTES Motion passed, with Councilmen Mueller, Malston, Measles, Mayor O'Reilly, Councilwoman Glick voting yes; Councilmen Wagoner, Wise voting no. B-11 Resolution 81-115 - Supporting State of Alaska HT.-618 - State Aid to Municipalities for Capital Projects MOTION s Councilwoman Glick moved, seconded by Councilman Mueller, to adopt the Resolution. = Public Works Director Kornalis -aid, regarding the Capital Improvement Projects in the Public Works. It looks to him like it is not equitable since the _ City is all spread out. The area should be taken into consideration. We have more roads than other cities. City Manager Brighton said one of the reasons this is on the agenda is, we received a letter from a legislator that if there is enough concern there will be public hearings, The intent now in to show public concern.

KENAI CITY COUNCIL NOV. 8, 1981 t Page S E. CORRESPONDENCE E-1 Don Smith, Anchorage Municipal Assemblyman - Advisory Committee on Federalism Councilwoman Glick said she had talked to Assembly- man Smith and he would like to have input. fie has sent this memo to all municipalities. City Manager Brighton was asked to review and come back to Council as soon as possible. E-2 HEA - Power Outage of Oct. 21, 1981 Clerk Whelan was asked to send copies of the memo to the Police and Fire Departments. P. OLD BUSINESS P-1 Architect Carmen Gintoli - Airport Schematics Mr. Gintoli explained he was presenting 2 schematics. He was recommending #1. In ail, they may widen the present corridor or build a new one. we will not *_-ouch the boiler, we would either leave it alone or remove it completely. We would like a prefinished metal siding. We anticipate 3 commuters and a carrier. The Consultant feels we should not consider more, that we are now over -served. If another carrier comes in, they will feel that it is needed and will build their own. He also recommends separate toilets for the lounge. He added, there are some things that are affecting the terminals a. Itinerant aircraft should be away from the terminal. b. Fuel service should be discontinued, they should come out when needed. They should be away from the terminal building. Councilman Wise :aids a. The fuel is used by CAB certified carriers. You cannot change airport operations. b. The location of secured waiting area and deplaning of the jet will cause damage to the building from jet blast. Mr. Gintoli replied it will not be that close. It will be given a position and there will be a covered walkway. Mr. Gintoli continued, in $2, there is less square footage. They have renovated the toilets and added some in the vestibule. These can be locked at night. The baggage claim system must be instigated, it is the responsibility of the carriers. The advantage of #2 is the lounge is separate. He noted their liquor license is a convenience license. Council- woman Glick asked, what were the recommendations of the users? Mr. Gintoli replied most preferred #2. Councilman wise asked, where is the bear? Mr. Gintoli replied there are 2 now, there is space in both plans. He noted there might be a wildlife display at the terminal from the National Park Service. He asked for additional reviews by the public and another hearing. Airport Manager Swalley spoke. lie got the impression they will redesign the airport and we will have to redesign the ramp space. Also, the fuel facilities were overlooked. It does not belong to the City, we 3 - -- tr silk V n7.e+v nn.I.,/... {►{IN.11 �. � 1 • Y�ld NV 1. LI NOV. 8, 1981 Page 6 will have to buy it back, Also, the transient parking problem was not addresseas. The consulting firm has not looked at the original intent of the Council. They are recommending we stay at the current level, Also, there are many transient aircraft that come in on a regular basis. This is a problem on either plan. We should build for possible expansion. He added he preferred Mr. Gintoli's original plan. Councilwoman Glick asked if there was a possibility of taking the best of both. Mr. Swalrey replied there could be a happy medium, but wa could run into money problems. Wayne Stevens, Wien Air Alaska, spoke. They chose plan 92 because of ramp congestion. The jets will stay further north and not have to turn in a small y area. _ John Williams spoke. He would prefer plan #2 for the following reasons: a. Ire the actual design, if there are overhangs, they should be modified to prevent ice build-up. There -- could be a glycol system in the sidewalks. -- �, b. Plan #1 puts aside the needs of small aircraft, if they moved the transient aircraft area back, they must go a long way back to the terminal. c. Plight Service will also have, to go a long way. d. Transient aircraft also use the fuel service. He added, we have to go a long way in Anchorage, we should keep in mind we are still a small community and should still welcome small aircraft. Mr. Gintoli replied, we are not suggesting we put transient air- craft aside, just that they are not part of the air- line terminal. Also, regarding redesigning the ramp, the only ramp we design would be location of aircraft. Regarding the fuel contract, aircrafts don't use it very often, and it is cheaper in Anchorage, Mr. Gintoli added, the secured area and baggage area should be separated, it might restrict the growth of counter space. Regarding the budget the consultants uaed the FAA approved manual for the design. That i is what brought it from 8000 sq. ft. to 10,000 sq. ft. Also, if the City had standards drawn up by Ordinance, the FAA cannot dispute them. Councilman Wise asked, what are the recommendations for counter space for commuter and carriers? Mr. Gintoli replied 65 ft. Councilman Wise said he agrees we are over -served. We will probably lose one commuter through bankruptcy. Because of that, he would like to settle one issue tonight, in either plan we eliminate spaces for future carriers. NOTION: Councilman Wise moved, seconded by Councilman Wagoner, that Administration notify all existing carriers in Southcontral Alaska of our planning capability of 3 commuter and one carrier and ask them if they are willing to make a commitment to the terminal by Jan., 19831 and if not, inform that we will not j provide additional space and they will have to provide spaces at their own expense. Councilman wagoner said he would vote against this. We should have a work session first. There are othor things we should consider, such as fish flying, etc. Councilman wise explained the reason for the motion is we are talking about construction costs of KENAI CITY COUNCIL NOV. $, 1981 Page 7 $1/4 Million. He would prefer to wove on and contact other carriers as soon as possible. If we wait for a work session we are delaying action for 30 days and there may be a carrier interested in coming in. This would not bind us, it would just put the carriers and FAA on notice that we are proceeding in a rational way. VOTES Motion failed, with Councilman wise, Mayor O'Reilly voting yes; Councilmen Mueller, wagoner, MalstoA, Measles, Councilwoman Glick voting no. Councilman Wagoner asked Airport Manager Swalley, is the baggage pick-up going to be leased out to all who use counter space? Mr. Swalley replied yes. Mr. Gintoli added, improvements will be done by commuters, built to City specs. Council agreed to a work session Nov. 12, 1981 at 700 PM. Mayor O'Reilly added there will be a public hearing at a later date. Councilman wise asked, what is the interim arrange- ment during remodeling? Mr. Gintoli replied, the building from Main St. Loop will be used, vacating the building will be cheaper. Mayor O'Reilly asked, how long will the renovation take? Mr. Gintoli answered a 10 to 12 month period. G. NEW BUSINESS G-1 Bills to be Paid, Bills to be Ratified MOTIONS Councilman Malston moved, seconded by Councilwoman Glick, to approve the billings.

Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote. DISCUSSION ITEM, Agenda: Councilman wagoner noted we have handled many items tonight, why cannot we handle the individual bills in the same manner as we do Bills to be Paid? It is being redundant and repetitive. The back-up could be put in the packet for review. If it is a final billing, it could be reviewed separately. G-23 Discussion - Water & Sewer - Capital Improvements Council agreed to discuss this item at the work session of Nov. 12, 1981. G-24 Ordinance 725-81 - Increasing Rev/Appns - Creating New Dept. "Section 36" - Drainage of Sect. 36 - $151,000 a. Substitute Ord. 725-81 MOTION, Take from Tables Councilman wise moved, seconded by Councilwoman Glick, to raise this item from the table. Motion passed by unanimous consent. MOTION, Amendments Councilman Wise moved, seconded by Councilman Mueller, to submit sustitute Ord. 725-81. Councilman Wise explained he felt the original ord. was inappropriate since it was unused land and other areas need addressing. Also, the cost was exorbitant. He reviewed this with engineers. #8 is computer programmed and is available to us free or at minimal cost. He believes funds allocated are sufficient. Since this will not be heard till the next meeting, he still wants the Soil Conservation Service to provide the study at no cost. We need the work done urgently. Councilman Mueller said the original ordinance was aimed at an area that was uninhabited but it is an area needed for future expansion soon. His biggest concern is that the study be done in a timely manner to begin work by next construction season. Public works Director Kornelis explained the numbers were in error. When the grant was applied for, the cost was $50,000. The $100,00C was added in error. fie did not know if $52,000 would be enough for the whole city. He added the Soil Conservation people are doing a flood hazard study for Kenai. That could be used in the drainage study as a tool. This might be ready by next year. Putting the whole scope of the project KRNAT rTTV MITWTT. NOV. 81 198i ' Page 13 f in the ordinance could be somewhat restrictive. The consultant may feel other concerns are important. He added we do not have topo maps of the whole city. Councilman Wagoner noted there is other private land that does not border on water & sewer. We may get into trouble by developing this. The more money 1 we put into this the harder it will be for those- with land not developed to sell. Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote. H.

PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD 1. Mayor O'Reilly noted the Governor's Task Force f will meet 11-10-81 regarding the Petro Chem. j plant. The Mayor would appreciate any comments i from Council. 2. Councilwoman Glick noted Mayor O'Reilly was elected Vice Pres. of the Alaska Conference of Mayors, City Manager Brighton was elected to the Board of Directors of The City Manager's Assoc., and Atty. Delahay was reappointed to the Legis- lative Committee. 3. Councilwoman Glick said she would like to ask Councilman wise to reconsider his initiative. Council has discussed reducing the sales tax. They also looked at Municipal Assistance, Rev- enue Sharing and other funds. The argument she used for lowering of the mill levy was if Muni- cipal Assistance funds were not forthcoming, we could use some of that money to continue the low mill levy. We gave the reduction based on the results of the City Manager's poll. There are other repercussions. If we still do take monies we are receiving interest on and start utilizing that, we could lose money that way. We could lose interest income on funds invested. In 3 or 4 months we will be into budget sessions and can address this at that time. Also, we should consider if we are going to receive Muni- cipal Grant money. It looks like there will be less monies received next year than anticipated. Councilman Wise replied the Council, by failing to introduce the Ordinance, has denied the public the right to speak. He asked for the public hear- ing in Dec. He pointed out once it is introduced it is subject to amendment. But the failure to introduce means the public is denied the oppor- tunity to discuss with Council. The Council has >1 I V11 Nov. 8, 1981 Page 16 in the past shifted the burden for utilization of sales tax without public response. Tha survey pre -dates the increase in Municipal Assistance and is no longer valid. He will consider Councilwoman Glick'rs comments. Councilman Mueller said at last year's budget work sessions, the intent was expressed to reduce the sales tax on sub- sequent budget sessions. Mayor O'Reilly said there are many things to be considered. it is almost impossible to issue Municipal Bonds at this times a. The credit market has deteriorated. b. Reduction of income tax has made municipal bonds less attractive. Regarding Municipal Funds, in a discussion with Sen. Dankworth, it was stated there will be a 30% reduction per State law. One remedy was to use 3.2% of total petroleum based revenues for State to be equal to Municipal Assistance. Sen. Dankworth said that would never fly. There is also competetive equilibrium between Borough and City and other cities regarding sales tax. City Manager Brighton added, regarding the survey, there was no reference to Municipal Assistance. The question was would people rather have prop- erty tax or sales tax reduced. The 2nd question was if taxes had to be increased, people preferred sales tax increased rather than property tax.
